Highlights.

Born in Namyang, honed at the Nürburgring.

The ‘N’ stands for Namyang, Hyundai Motor’s global Centre in Korea, where the idea was born, and for the Nürburgring, home to Hyundai Motor’s European Test Centre, where the N line up was further developed and tested.

The N logo symbolises a chicane, the ultimate corner where the i30 N has been tested thoroughly, representing the ultimate driving experience on winding roads.

Performance features.

Performance, reimagined.

The heart of any high-performance car is of course its engine. The i30 N features a specially developed 2.0-litre four-cylinder powerplant featuring direct injection, variable valve timing and turbocharging to produce 202kW and 353Nm. An overboost function allows peak torque to rise to 378Nm for brief full-throttle.

Active variable exhaust system.

The twin-outlet active exhaust has three settings, allowing the driver to select the ideal level of exhaust sound for the conditions – keep it subdued around town, or allow the engine’s full vocal range to be enjoyed when the open road or track1 beckons. In its most sporting setting, throttle lifts and downshifts bring a thrilling volley of rasping crackles and pops that have to be heard to be appreciated.

Drive it your way.

No matter what the road or driving conditions, the i30 N has a mode to suit. Choose from five individual drive modes: Eco, Normal, Sport, N or N Custom settings, activated by two dedicated buttons on the steering wheel. Crucially, all the discrete parameters of engine mapping, damper firmness, steering weight, e-LSD characteristics, stability control and exhaust sound level can be individually selected and saved via the N Custom setting, allowing unprecedented tailoring of the i30 N’s driving experience.
